Yes.

I had assumed that when I followed up to a message, the header of my
reply would read the Newsgroups: line of the message to which I am
responding. Your answer implies that this not so, and the behavior
about which I'm complaining is normal.
You seem to imply that in my previous setup gnus didn't read the
Newsgroups: line, but would somehow otherwise know of these groups,
even if I had never subscribed to them or killed them.
For example, I'm involved in a discussion on a newsgroup, but the OP
had distributed his message to several groups, including
uk.politics.misc. When I follow up to up his messages, the
uk.politics.misc group in my old setup would appear automatically in
the "Newsgroups:" line of my outgoing header.
Since you may be suggesting that my old gnus somehow knew of
uk.politis.misc, I searched in ~/News and the ~/.newsrc* files, but
didn't find it.
In my old setup, ~/News contained a set of files corresponding to the
groups to which I subscribed. For example, linux.debian.user.SCORE,
which holds the sole line "(("references"))". My new set up has no
such files.
In the original setup, In the file for the newsgroup to which I reply
to message with multiple addresses, the entry has sets of lines like
these:
(("references"
("<871x5lp9ve.fsf@teufel.hartford-hwp.com>[ ]*$" nil 732153 r)
("<871x5lp9ve.fsf@teufel.hartford-hwp.com>" nil 732153 s)
